'Orseolo’ Table by Carlo Scarpa for Gavina, Italy, 1972

About

Long rectangular ‘Orseolo’ dining table, designed by Carlo Scarpa in 1972 for Gavina. The completely black table receives its unique and extravagant look through the unusual construction of the inner corners with metal angles. The table is labelled at the bottom of the tabletop. One small chip on one corner, restoration possible. See also: Virgilio Vercelloni: Das Abenteuer des Design: Gavina. Mailand 1989, fig. 76-78.
